It’s been three straight years that at least three Ohio State running backs have had at least 49 carries over the course of the season.
Just two years ago, TreVeyon Henderson, Miyan Williams and Dallan Hayden each hit triple-digits in attempts. Williams was on pace to join Henderson and Chip Trayanum in surpassing that benchmark again in 2023, but an injury cut his season short after just six games.
Bottom line: Even with Henderson and Ole Miss transfer Quinshon Judkins, the most star-studded running back tandem in the country, topping the depth chart, the Buckeyes are going to need at least three viable options at the position.
